...painted before Impressionism existed. As an art teacher until she was 40, when she married Manhattan Lawyer Cornelius J. Sullivan, Mary Quinn kept buying the work of unknown artists. Once she stranded herself in Paris by spending every sou she had with her on a Rouault and a Segonzac. She never had resources like those of her good friends Abby Rockefeller and the late Lizzie P. Bliss, with whom she helped found the Museum of Modern Art in 1929. But Mary Quinn Sullivan's pioneering judgment brought her a notable collection for a notably small...

All of these painters except Vlaminck are onetime winners of the Carnegie first prize. The Braque painting rather gained than lost by their company. Why this was true few critics and fewer spectators could say in confident, simple words. But confident and extremely simple were the words of derision with which...
Greatest surprise was the award of the $1,500 first prize to France's André Dunoyer de Segonzac for a sketchy landscape of St. Tropez. Painter de Segonzac, 49, is an important artist, has won the gratitude of Riviera realtors by first discovering the possibilities of the Gulf of St. Tropez in 1906. But few critics could find anything in this particular canvas to lift it above any one of 30 or 40 others in the show...
